That’s estimated annual tuition of $7.5K for K-6, $12.5K for grades 7-9 and $15K for grades 10-12. That’s for SGV area private schools and not just Arcadia private schools. It’s frustrating in that the only really good public schools in this area are San Marino, South Pas and Arcadia and houses in San Marino are more expensive and the inventory in South Pas is scarce. Housing prices are to the point where it may make more sense for me to keep my current house in Pasadena and just rent a house in one of the above cities for the schools. Just the thought of dealing with a landlord again makes me cringe.

It’ll probably go in the mid-high $600K’s. On the plus side, this house is part of the Arcadia school district. So what you say? I have three small kids, putting them through a decent private school K-12 will run me around $500K. The recession has not hit private schools, still long waiting lists and higher tuition every year. So yeah, I can see a family bidding this home up with and eye towards good Arcadia schools. $799K is a little on the high side considering it’s close to the freeway.
